Description: Hoarding New Guinea provides a new cultural history of colonialism that pays close attention to the millions of artifacts that continue to serve as witnesses to Europe's colonial past in ethnographic museums.
Review Quotes: "Hoarding New Guinea manages to be both historically grounded and also attuned to contemporary recognitions of Indigenous agency. The book's findings and conclusions are sobering, surprising, and illuminating in equal measure, and a refreshing corrective to much superficial postcolonial writing that simplifies and flattens the complexities of the colonial encounter."--Conal McCarthy, author of Museums and Māori: Heritage Professionals, Indigenous Collections, Current Practice
